Heavenly Creations by Holly McMillen

It’s hop time! The mastermind behind Artful Inkables, Kristin, has done it again. This month’s releases are so awesome. If you have arrived here from Sherry’s blog, you are in the right place. If not, you will want to start back at Kristin’s blog to get the whole show!

Every one of us knows someone who is sick or injured. You can’t throw a rock these days without hitting a person with H1N1, right? Well, today I am sharing a project I made with the new Monster Medical set from Artful Inkables. I was really excited when I saw this set, because I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I needed lollipops for my project. Finding suitable lollipops was quite an adventure! I looked at every store I could think of and was about to give up, when we happen to go to Cracker Barrel for breakfast. I don’t know if you are familiar with Cracker Barrel, but they carry the most incredible selection of old school candies. There nestled in the hundreds of jars of candy were these Clove Honey suckers. They not only looked yummy, they are just what the doctor orders when you have a sore throat or cough.

The suckers are on these really cool wood dowels with balls on the end. They are slightly tilted, so I had to come up with a ”cover” for the candy so I could afix the decorative medallion.

I used a block of floral foam to hold the suckers for presentation. I covered the floral foam with a box bottom, slightly larger than the foam and then tucked tissues in between the suckers to make it look like an arrangement.

You have brought back memories with the Cracker Barrell pops…These creations are SO you Holly…Perfect for a sick buddy! I’m not feeling that well ….By the way I Love all of Kristin’s new images…I swear that girl has talent from here to the moon and back!! TFS!!

Holly, these are both brilliantly done and adorable!! Just love how you popped up the center portion of the band aide and your “booboo?” sentiment. Of course, when anyone uses Swiss Dots I’m happy 😀 Fabulous presentation in the box too. You hit this one out of the park my friend!!
